there are tanks out on the street. president morsi was informed that he is no longer president. >> we are getting life pictures from cairo right now, kareem. is the military starting their statement? [beep beep] >> we will try to get him back in cairo lesson as we can. -- as soon as we can. >> tensions reaching a fever pitch. the army has reportedly taken control of the major media outlets including the state broadcaster in cairo. >> in egypt is deeply divided in the military is the one institution that egyptians continue have faith in. >> can the military provides stability that they are yearning for a midst of the uncertainty? we have this report.

>> mass demonstrations and running street battles. but until this week, the army was noticeably quiet. on monday, that changed. military or is bearing the national flag flew over the crowd in the issued an ultimatum giving the government 48 hours to resolve the crisis or the military would intervene. protesters were delighted. >> we have always trusted our army. >> armed forces are the best people to rule egypt right now because there is a lack of security. >> the confidence his opponents have in the army is perhaps surprising giving the controversial role of the military and the toppling of former president hosni mubarak.

they helped overthrow him but they were reluctant to let go of power. there is hardly any organization and eat if that is as well- organized as the army. it has half a million soldiers with fixed structures that have been in place for decades. army officers and former members of the military hold many key positions in society, particularly in administration. the army is also a key economic factor in egypt. whether it is tourism, construction, or heavy industry, the army is involved in every level. as the largest employer, that gives the army chiefs huge power. it was president mohamed morsi appointed him to his post. but he has now distanced himself from the president warning that he will not allow egypt to be plunged into what he called "a dark tunnel." >> we are happy to have our

middle east expert. we have breaking news coming in, miguel, that mohamed morsi can no longer be president according to the military in a state run newspaper. is this unexpected development? >> in a way, it is. they made it very clear that the ultimatum set has run out. four hours after the ultimatum has ended, now there is a real coup d'état in egypt. they are seizing power from the democratically elected president and this is a major landmark in contemporary egyptian history. it is the first democratically elect a president being toppled by the military after just one year and power. >> you would say this marks of their end of their experiments with democracy? >> with the muslim brotherhood. the military is non-intervening because they are worried about the democracy. a are not interested to know who

rules egypt under their thumbs as long as they can continue to be a state within the state and that is with the egyptian army is, more or less. so many people were opposed to this government in the muslim brotherhood that they thought there was a good chance to really change the political path in egypt's contemporary political history, but to what price? we should not believe they would accept their president being toppled. let's not forget the muslim brotherhood has been an underground organization for more than 80 years a yearning for power. now the army says that it is the end of the story. they will never accept it. >> if it is confirmed that morsi can no longer be president, according to the military, what are his options? will he go to the muslim brotherhood? will he go out on the streets? >> no one knows what's going to happen. of course, the opponents of morsi are very happy in tahrir

square but there are many supporters of the brotherhood who will now be veryng and nobody knows whether there will be clashes or not tonight. the decisive question is this -- will the military be able to form a transitional government with some muslim brothers being included? or will they refuse in a cooperation? in that case, egypt is really going to embrace quite a few problems because you cannot exclude half of the population from and political participation. >> as you know, the way that egypt goes, the arab world follows. this is the first arab spring country going back to the old ways. what repercussions will this have for the region? >> it's a very divisive question indeed. egypt is the cultural and political center of the arab world. it will have repercussions in other parts of the arab world. should this experiment in democracy fail, should the

muslim brothers go underground, there will be repercussions in tunisia, algeria. muslim brothers in other countries will also go wild. >> there are certainly a lot at stake. miguel, thank you so much for joining us. bolivia has appealed to the united nations to take action against what they are calling the kidnapping of its president. by european countries test. test. test. test. test. test. test. test. test. test. test. test. test. test. of the human rights

he had nothing to do with snowden accusing them of making a historic blunder. france apparently lifted its ban after learning morale us was on the airplane. critics say the incident raises troubling questions about how far the u.s. can go to catch snowden. >> apparently the u.s. has so much influence that no country dares to take him in. it goes beyond that. no country is even willing to let an airplane that might he carrying him enter their airspace. >> is aircraft has since made a reairing stop in the canary islands and is now on the final leg to bolivia. >> germany has rejected a request by snowden for political asylum. while the news of the internet spying activities has caused outrage in berlin, germany is already reviewing the competence

themselves under pressure to act, but the summit was short on specifics. german trade unions and the opposition social democrats organized a protest outside of the jobs summit. they say angela merkel focusing on it makes her partially responsible for youth unemployment in countries like spain. >> no consensus was reached in today's talks. >> the meeting was intended to be an exchange between the leaders on what policies are working best to fight youth unemployment. as the chancellor said, it was a day of rolling up the sleeves in which they did share their best crack this is. she said all of the leaders had a real sense of urgency and they had agreed on several initiatives, among them to make
